A breezy Newhaven Cliifs

We arranged to meet at Seaford beach for a first attempt of beach flying in a stiff SW wind. Rob and Graham U arrived to find the seafront blocked off for a bloody Triathlon. This cocked up the plans big time! After a quick meeting it was decided to go to Newhaven Fort to see how the wind direction was. Getting up there the wind must have been 25knts but a good 30 degrees off the slope. We tried one part and was getting severe rotor from a spur upwind of us, so we moved along to the other side of the Coastguard station and hear is what happened.
